Attention! "Fontaneweg" from the direction of Nordumfluter towards the hotel "Eiche" is currently a dead end. The last bridge, shortly before the hotel "Eiche", is impassable due to significant damage!

Beautiful, small Spreewald village. However, very crowded in high season.

Beautiful cycle path along the river

Between the Leipe and Raddusch rivers, you'll inevitably come across one of the most characteristic landmarks of the Spreewald cycle paths: the Spree Bridge with its lock, located in the heart of the biosphere reserve. Anyone cycling here should briefly dismount their bikes – cycling is strictly prohibited on the bridge, and for good reason: the wooden steps are steep, slippery when wet, and anyone traveling with luggage or an e-bike will know what pushing means by now. The crossing: The bridge itself is charmingly rustic – a mix of Spreewald romance and a sporting challenge. The calm Spree waters flow beneath it, lined with trees and reeds, often with canoes, paddleboats, or visiting ducks. Directly next to it is the small lock, which almost seems out of time: no hustle and bustle, no noise, just the occasional quiet gurgling as the gates open. Photo tip: From the bridge, you have a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding landscape – a perfect moment for anyone seeking something special in a relaxed setting. For cyclists: If you're heavily laden or riding in a group, you should allow a few extra minutes for the crossing. The steps are equipped with treads, but are unsuitable for trailers or tandems. Those who like can help each other – true Spreewald style.

Crossing by bike is no problem, as the bridge has rails. This makes cycling in the Spreewald twice as much fun.
